Description:
Amber Heard has described coming out as bisexual while undertaking lead roles in the film industry.
The Magic Mike XXL actress came out during an event organised by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in 2010, saying she believed that denying or hiding something is an inadvertent admission that it’s "wrong".
Describing her decision to come out, she told The Times: "At that time I didn’t know of anyone else in my position who was a working female lead actress.
"I don’t want to have to deny my sexuality in order to be me. But I don’t want to have to be defined by it. I’m fundamentally opposed to trying to edit myself to be palatable or popular. I don’t give a f**k. I fight, but I shouldn’t have to."
